Shepherd of the Valley is a gathering of all kinds of people. People seeking God's love, grace, and strength for daily living. Ordinary people of all ages and stages of life, with all kinds of backgrounds, families, needs, and problems. People at various stages of faith and doubt. We come from a variety of cultural and ethnic and racial heritages. We do all kinds of things for a living. We live in all kinds of neighborhoods. The center of our life together is vital, life-transforming worship.We gather each week in eagerness and expectancy, to be met by the gracious God who continually seeks us out in purpose, presence, and power. What brings us together is our common need for the grace and love of the God we've come to know in Jesus Christ. As this God meets us where we are,we begin to receive what we lack in this healing community of faith. Moved by deep, heartfelt gratitude, we follow the call of that same Christ, who sends us out in self-sacrificial mission and service to our neighborhoods, communities, and world in the power of the Holy Spirit. There's a place for you in this extended family of faith we call Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church. Come as you are. You will be loved. Vengan como son, y serán amados. |
